I mean, lets be honest, AEW isn't going to go bankrupt unless Tony gets frustrated and decides to kill it.



Or his dad has him committed to a mental institution and stops writing checks.



The problem is with the declining ratings and audience levels, could eventually hurt the enthusiasm of the TV deal. There are no guarantees, remember that CMT I think it was actively sabotaged their TV deal with Heyman and ECW so they could execute their end clause.


I think that the biggest problem with AEW is probably Tony, the one lesson that he didn't learn from his time as a wrestling super fan watching WWE is that you can't let the inmates run the asylum, and you can't be buddies with your workers because wrestlers will run all over you.


I've also said in the past that one of the biggest mistakes that companies like WCW and Wrestling in Florida in the 8i0's and mid south is letting active talent act as bookers. Dusty as smart as he was, was toxic to WCW and FCW when he was booking for them. When WCW had Kevin Nash and Hogan helping with booking, they got their buddies big paychecks and didn't develop young talent.


For me, if I was running AEW, and this is me. Jericho, the Bucks would probably be gone, I'd focus on building young talent. I'd probably release a whole bunch of the roster especially if I was going to end up with one two hour show on TV.



I would bring in producers with backbones that weren't friends with the talent and not active. And I wouldn't do the booking because I know better that most of my ideas would be nonsense.
